"12 arrested after deadly hospital fire kills 29 in Beijing"
TL;DR Summary
Twelve people, including the hospital's head, have been detained for questioning after a fire broke out at Beijing's Changfeng Hospital, killing 29 people, including patients, a nurse, a medical assistant, and a family member of a patient. The cause of the fire is still being investigated, but officials believe it originated from welding sparks from construction in the hospital's inpatient wing. Large-scale building fires are rare in the Chinese capital, and some people raised questions on social media about why they were only informed about the hospital fire hours after it had been extinguished.
